My Dietpi NUC is failed to connect to internet through Ethernet at bootup time. I have all default setting of dietpi upto yesterday, I have using same nuc with dietpi installed pihole, unbound, plex & wireguard & was working everything fine. Yesterday, I have installed docker & docker compose through dietpi-software. & installed adguard, unbound, plex & wireguard through docker compose. Also removed pervious installed software through dietpi software. In backend this time through dietpi only PROFTPD, Docker, Docker-compose installed. After this my dietpi nuc not able to detect eithernet connection. I am able to use system as standalone. After login in dietpi-config I try to change static to dhcp & vice versa connection & also change Debian mirror from global to US, Australia, UK many time but even then system is not able to detect Ethernet connection. As now my machine is not able to sync time & connect Debian mirror. I know I have last resort to reinstall everything again but I prefer if I can reuse my system with same operating system as I know within it everything is working as my containers are up. Please suggest me any solution for this, my nuc not detecting eithernet connection at boot time.
